what a complex color that is, sometimes blue and sometimes green. I could swear its either. I love colors like that, like how some red/oranges are.

congrats on driving!

Thanks joe, you are correct, because it is a teal, it seems to change depending on the light, or the camera...Jim

Hey fellows, haven't posted anything here since December. I've had the truck out at least twice each month, when weather was clear and roads dry. Truck is running great and I'm enjoying it once again. I did take a pic from early this month at the nursing home.

I'm going to be doing another door panel build for my friend Ed again. This time it's for his 52 pickup. When I have everything ready I will post a link to the thread. Hopefully it should only be a few days till I start posting info. Check back later...Jim

Nice Pic Jim!

Question, you have an EFI system right?
How’s that doing?
I’ve heard some stories overhere that they were not so good??

Looking forward to the post
